Google has rolled out its second Android N preview for Nexus devices, adding new emoji and making a number of improvements to the stock launcher. It also brings the Vulcan 3D rendering API for even greater Android games.

Apple Metal, introduced at last year’s WWDC, gives developers low-level access to the GPU to maximize the graphics and performance potential of their games. Now Android gamers are going to get a taste of that, too.

No, Apple isn’t bringing Metal to Android — but Google is adopting an alternative called Vulkan.

Can’t wait until Mobile World Congress to get your first glimpse at Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge? Well, thanks to third-party case makers, you don’t have to.

Both devices have been leaked in promotional photos for upcoming cases, and they sport a somewhat familiar look.

Samsung has begun issuing invitations to a Mobile World Congress event on March 1, where the South Korean company is expected to unveil its new Galaxy S6.

The invite includes a picture of what appears to be bent metal — it actually looks a lot like a fork — which could also hint at the arrival of the rumored Galaxy S Edge.

Has the OnePlus One left you thirsty for more from OnePlus?

Well, you’re going to get more tomorrow, it seems. The Chinese company today teased a “back to basics” announcement on Twitter with a cryptic graphic that somewhat resembles the famous Breaking Bad logo.
